Dividing assets during a divorce can be one of the most complex parts of the process, requiring careful consideration to ensure a fair and equitable outcome for both parties.
At southgate solicitors, we specialise in navigating the intricate process of asset division, helping our clients reach agreements that respect their financial security and future wellbeing. Whether through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings, our goal is to ensure that the division of assets is handled with fairness, precision, and with careful consideration as to the needs of any children involved.
The division of marital assets is influenced by a multitude of factors, as outlined in the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973. These factors include each party’s earning capacity post-divorce, the standard of living enjoyed during the marriage, the length of the marriage, and the housing needs of the family. Our approach takes into consideration not just the tangible assets like property, savings, and pensions, but also the intangible elements that contribute to a person’s wellbeing post-divorce.
At southgate solicitors, we offer comprehensive assistance tailored to your needs throughout your asset division journey. Our team of experienced professionals understand the intricacies of family law and are dedicated to providing you with the expertise and support you need during what can be a daunting and highly emotional time. We have Resolution members and also hold Law Society Family Law Advanced Panel Accreditation which demonstrates our knowledge, skill and expertise in this area of law.

Southgate Solicitors have been a huge asset with my case. Listening to my needs, providing the best advice and working proactively towards a resolution for my family and me. I would like to say thank you to Ceylan.
I was represented in a very complicated financial settlement as we have properties abroad. Very happy with the outcome. I believe without representation the outcome would have been different.
First of all I would like to say how thankful I am of all the help that you have given me regarding this matter, your wisdom and knowledge put me at ease at our first meeting, I had the right solicitor fighting my corner.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to Hasan. I’ll definitely recommend you to anyone, as you are very reliable, professional and well experienced. Thank you so much for your service and eminence support.
Excellent firm. Hasan is a professional and has a sound understanding of family law. I would recommend Southgate solicitors to anyone who requires family legal advice. Highly impressed with the friendly staff.
I really enjoy working with Hasan – he is pragmatic, collaborative and sensible in his approach, and very efficient. This means our working relationship is very smooth, we get more done together than we would individually.
Hasan is a solicitor to be reckoned with – he has a friendly and personable approach to clients and opponents – but he is a formidable family lawyer and he and his team are a force to be reckoned with
Antony guided to use something from the truth as a witness and evidence while I never thought I could use them. At the end he got the outcome which made me really pleased and surprised. He assured how us everything is in his control.
I am very happy to have chosen Southgate Solicitors to take my case and I am very happy that Rajan has been the one who with patience and professionalism has been able to guide me this difficult, for me, situation
Assets are divided based on several criteria, aiming for a fair distribution that considers the future needs and contributions of both parties. This includes evaluating earning capacities, the standard of living during the marriage, and the needs of any children of the family.
The family home is often the most significant asset, and its treatment varies. Options include one spouse buying out the other, selling the home and sharing the proceeds, or sometimes implementing a Mesher Order, which postpones the sale until a future event, like children reaching adulthood.
While not mandatory, mediation is highly recommended as it offers a less adversarial route to agreement. If mediation fails, the next step is typically negotiations via solicitors and if unsuccessful, applying for a financial remedy order through the courts may be necessary.
A financial remedy order is a legally binding court order that outlines how assets and finances will be divided between divorcing parties.
